Derek Dooley is trying to pull off a tricky balancing act as he campaigns for the U.S. Senate: run against Democrat Jon Ossoff while waging war on Washington itself.
The former football coach sharpened that message with the launch of his first TV ad, timed to promote his campaign against U.S. Reps. Buddy Carter and Mike Collins just before early voting begins next week...
“D.C. politicians focus on getting rich and famous, and never on who hired them, which is you,” Dooley says in the spot. “And as a football coach for 30 years, I can spot these ‘me first’ guys a mile away. And we gotta get rid of them.”
Dooley has been selling the same outsider pitch on the campaign trail alongside Gov. Brian Kemp, who is staking his own political capital on Dooley after passing on a Senate run himself.
Kemp’s argument is blunt: Only a political newcomer without the usual baggage can take the fight to Democratic U.S. Sen. Ossoff, a brand name in national Democratic politics with more than $31 million in his campaign account
“It takes an outsider that doesn’t have to worry about defending their political record or other things to stay on offense"...
The strategy reflects the unusual crosscurrents of the race. While hammering Ossoff, Dooley is also trying to elbow past two sitting Republican lawmakers for the nomination.
Collins has consistently led public polling, but many surveys show at least a third of likely GOP voters remain undecided. A June runoff between the two top finishers is likely.
Carter escalated the fight Monday with a new ad that targeted Collins over a congressional ethics probe into allegations of misused taxpayer funds. Collins has said he will cooperate fully and expects to be cleared.

There is speculation that Jon Ossoff will run for president in 2028:
I would not be surprised if he does and would not be surprised to see him win. He’s the perfect combination of a decent looking guy, a big bull-crapper who can give the impression that he “reaches across the aisle” because he’s “from the south”.
The fact that he is a good-looking guy will get almost ALL of the ladies to vote for him. He’s young, so all the stupid young voters will vote for him.
Yes...I can see him running...and winning.
ANY PERSON endorsed by EITHER Kemp or Ratsburger is, by definition and association, an Atlanta-Washington GROPElite insider.
Kemp knew could not win the primary.
That's the first time I've read someone describe Derek Dooley as a winner. LOL
Ossoff is an unqualified leftist fool, who does not belong in the US Senate, let alone the Presidency!
And he won via a rigged election.
I get it… you’re a lefty plant masquerading otherwise!
We’re voting for Mike Collins. Look for Buddy Carter to win. 😣
“And he won via a rigged election.”
Ossoff won in Jan 2021 because MAGA voters from NE GA stayed home and did not vote ...to teach us a lesson.
Turnout will decide Sen & Gov races in GA. The Dems have a ground game to turnout voters. MAGA & Republicans are focused on sitting in front of the screen to cheer and boo. Do they have time to knock of doors?
He was in a runoff due to a rigged election. Never should have been there.
Dooley has the same chance to win that Herschel Walker had except that Dooley will not survive the Republican primary.
Collins will eventually get the GOP nomination. Buddy Carter is still unknown in north GA where the Republican votes are.
What you said!
Can’t believe there are still people claiming “poor voter turnout” in one of the biggest election fraud fiascos ever. Sound like something old Raffensperger would claim, who also won with the same fraud.
Uh...no...not even close. I’m just considering the stupidity of young people and women.
My comment was about Osoff, which was mentioned in the 1st comment, not Dooley.
You must not be from Georgia because everyone knows Buddy Carter. Plus Trump has endorsed him.
Trump endorsed Collins and my whole life has been in Georgia. I spent several years in the Georgia Senate with Buddy Carter and would not vote for him for anything.
The fact is that there was a runoff.
The fact is that MAGA in NE GA acted like a spoiled 2 year old.
The fact is that in Nov 2020 MAGA had no ground game in GA. A good ground game is the best way to prevent vote fraud (based on my experience with fighting vote fraud in IL).
Yes, I would not vote for Buddy Carter either. We’re pushing Mike Collins.
Fact is Georgia was cheating...the GOP and Democrats to vote anyone but Trump in.
To reward their corruption with more corruption is insane. Beside it wouldn’t matter...they’d just rig it again
